E-Scene February 2025

New NPR webpage

By: Scott Smith, Assistant Projects Engineer

As part of the State Aid desire to keep MnDOT staff and local agencies informed, we have put together a webpage on Natural Preservation Routes (NPR).

Historically the public would get their information about NPR through brochures, handouts, and discussing with their county officials. The new webpage includes information and links to related Minnesota statues and rules, roadway designation and designation process, as well as a summary of those roadways that are presently an NPR.

You can visit the webpage directly at https://www.dot.state.mn.us/stateaid/npr.html, or from our State Aid programs webpage under "Roadway programs."
